Hi Kel
I haven't been on the site for a while and have just seen your post. My experience after having had precursors to cancer, first in one breast then the other (and a strong family history) was that having both boobs removed and expanders placed and finally (a year and a half lafter the expanders) implants was really a HUGE relief. Now I see the surgeon once a year for a quick exam, no more mammograms. I waited a year for the initial surgery and as the time drew close to my BMX I tried to keep really busy and not to think about it. I knew I had made the right decision for me. So please try not to worry too much, I think you're doing the best thing by doing all you can to make sure you are free of disease. Will be thinking of you on July 23. Best wishes, Sarah
